I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

One of the scariest Christian words to ever be uttered may be evangelism! Shudder and shake! Unfortunately, some of the ways of evangelism that we as the Church have developed and practiced probably weren’t exactly what Jesus had in mind when He told us to “go and make disciples.” The good news is that the Holy Spirit can and wants to give us the two greatest tools to help us in our evangelism efforts for the Kingdom. Grace and discernment will lead more people to the King and His Kingdom than anything else we can ever contrive or conjure. Let’s ask, let’s seek, and let’s knock for those two great tools, shall we?
